Who said anything about rebuilding?
VIU 61, Douglas 43
VIU led 41-6 after the second quarter, but let their foot off the gas in the fourth quarter. The Royals mounted a furious comeback in the fourth, but the lead was too large to overcome. The Mariners win their second straight PACWEST championship, and their sixth in the past seven seasons.
VIU's offense, as has been the case all season long, came by committee. Sarah Cook and Sammy Shields had 11 and 10 points respectively, while Trista Thorn grabbed six rebounds.
Denise Mendoza led all scorers with 13 points. Mackenzie Dalphond added eight points for Douglas while pulling down 10 rebounds.
Both teams will represent the PACWEST at this year's CCAA national championship. VIU will enter as the conference champion, while Douglas settles for a wild card berth.
